Back again?? Excellent. First things first. There are thousands of stories on ff.net and I unfortunately have been unable to read them all. If my story bears any resemblance to another story, it's coincidental because I believe this fic is original. Thanx!

*sigh*

I don't own Snape or any of the other Harry Potter characters…I am only using them for my dark little pleasures. I do own Raven Darkmoon *laughs evilly*...yes, well anyway…that's all folks.

Thank you's:

pandemonium black: Yay!! Good…I did my darndest to improve his 'Snapyness'. Haha!!! Thanx.

Mage Kitty You…are very weird.J It is really fun!! Oh yea, messing with Snape and other characters is great cuz you get to decide on both sides of the convo…that's what is so fun about writing stories. You can torture Snape!! And really, what better thing is there? Hmmm….that depends. Will lunch make u more or less crazy. Ooooh…rambling is the greatest. Especially, if some guys trying to hit on you. If you start rambling, and than giggling and snorting, it has a 98% chance of driving them away. And if that doesn't work, eat really quickly…like a guy does. Of course, I do that all the time but…oh well!!

Kdc: Wow! Umm…I have a lot of things to say to you. I have no problem with the fact that you don't like my story, but unless you can tell me ways to improve, than just don't say anything. Telling me my story sux doesn't help anyone, I don't care because I like it, and it seems some other people do too, and it doesn't help me to "improve" my story, especially when I can hardly understand what your saying. So thanx, but no thanx.

Sorry it took me so long to update!! Dang finals.

Update: Once again, I tried to put Snape in character. Please tell me if I did a good job or not.

And now, Chapter Six: Running

Ugh, just a few more minutes before I have to be in Snape's room, Raven thought miserably. Raven glanced up to the head table to see Snape watching her. They made eye contact, and he sneered nodding his head as if to say 'good, you remembered'. Raven snorted, of course she remembered. She didn't have a death wish, and missing detention with Snape would mean death. Of course, maybe not the normal way, but you'd be constantly tortured in class, ridiculed, laughed at, hated…actually…that was pretty much the norm in Snape's class. Hmm…I wonder how he would react if I beat him to the dungeons. Snape glanced up once again (Raven didn't really think too hard about why he did this) and it seemed that he could read her thoughts. He smirked and turned to Professor Flick once again. Raven read his lips and body language and could tell he was preparing to leave. So, let the game begin. Raven, having no friends, just stood up and tried to walk calmly out of the hall, even though she was really rushing.

Once out of sight of the crowd in the main hall, she broke into a sprint, ignoring the stunned gasps or whispers of the pictures hanging on the walls. Raven's breath started to come short a little to soon, and she noticed why. She was giggling like a little school girl, and she could feel another wave of adrenaline washing over her. Oh I hope I beat him there I hope I beat him there. In truth, she wasn't exactly sure why she wanted to beat him to his classroom, she just knew she was getting a rush off of the thought.

Raven's excitement grew as she rounded the corner right before his classroom. Seeing no signs of Snape, she let out a hissing 'yesss' and put in a last spurt of energy. Just as she reached the door, she stuck out her hand to slam against it, but it swung open in front of her hand, and so her hand, instead of connecting with wood, connected with another hard surface, Snape's stomach.

"Well, well, well, Ms. Darkmoon. Glad to see you are on time. Hmm…looks like you were in a rush. Didn't want to be late did you?"

I know this chapter is REALLY short, but I haven't updated in a while, so I just wanted to give you what I have. I am really busy, but I'll try to write some more soon….like today. Hope ya enjoyed it!!

Okay how was it?? The 'troubles that drove her to cut herself' will be explained next chapter. (I know I said this chapter but I changed my mind…it might not be the next chapter either…who knows. This story really writes itself.) There is a slight hint of what it is in the flashback from chappie 3 (I think). Review pretty please!!! Come back soon for chapter!!
